    Whether lying reastlesse in heavy bedde, or else
    Sitting so cheerelesse at the cheerfull boorde, or else
    Playing alone carelesse on hir heavenlie virginals.

    In my grandmother’s house there was always chicken soup
    And talk of the old country—mud and boards,
    Poverty,
    The snow falling down and necks of lovers.
